Definitions

  • the disclosure relates to lubricant compositions and in particular to additive compositions for improving or maintaining the soot or sludge handling characteristics of an engine lubricant composition, while minimizing the treat rate of the dispersants in the lubricant composition.
  • Engine lubricant compositions may be selected to provide increased engine protection, as well as an increase in fuel economy, and a reduction in emissions.
  • a balance between engine protection and lubricating properties is required for the lubricant composition.
  • an increase in the amount of friction modifiers may be beneficial for fuel economy purposes but may lead to reduced ability of the lubricant composition to handle water.
  • an increase in the amount of anti-wear agent in the lubricant may provide improved engine protection against wear but may be detrimental to catalyst performance for reducing emissions.
  • Dispersants are added to lubricant compositions to keep the soot and sludge in suspension and prevent the contaminants from settling on and/or adhering to surfaces.
  • the soot and sludge handling properties of the lubricant are improved.
  • the treat rates for a dispersant to be effective are very high. However, high dispersant treat rates increase corrosion and are harmful to seals.
  • the present disclosure relates to a lubricant composition including 50% to 99% by weight of a base oil, based on the total weight of the lubricant composition, and an additive composition including at least 0.05 percent by weight, based on a total weight of the lubricant composition, of a first dispersant that is a reaction product of A) a hydrocarbyl-dicarboxylic acid or anhydride, and B) at least one polyamine; and at least 0.05 percent by weight, based on a total weight of the lubricant composition, of a second dispersant that is a reaction product of A') a hydrocarbyl-dicarboxylic acid or anhydride, and B') at least one polyamine, and wherein the reaction product is post-treated with C) an aromatic carboxylic acid, an aromatic polycarboxylic acid, or an aromatic anhydride wherein all carboxylic acid or anhydride groups are attached directly to an aromatic ring, and/or D) a non-aromatic di
  • the hydrocarbyl dicarboxylic acid or anhydride A' comprises a polyisobutenyl succinic acid or anhydride.
  • the second dispersant may be a reaction product of A' and B' that is post-treated with both C and D.
  • the reaction product of the second dispersant may preferably be post-treated only with D, and in a further preferred alternative the second dispersant may be post-treated only with C.
  • C preferably comprises 1,8-naphthalic anhydride
  • D preferably comprises maleic anhydride.
  • the hydrocarbyl dicarboxylic acids or anhydrides A and A' may each comprise a polyisobutenyl succinic acid or anhydride.
  • the additive composition may also comprise a third dispersant that is different from the first and second dispersants.
  • the third dispersant maybe a polyisobutenyl succinic acid or anhydride, or the third dispersant may be a reaction product of A') a hydrocarbyl-dicarboxylic acid or anhydride, and B') at least one polyamine, wherein the reaction product is post-treated with C) an aromatic carboxylic acid, an aromatic polycarboxylic acid, or an aromatic anhydride wherein all carboxylic acid or anhydride groups are attached directly to an aromatic ring, and/or D) a non-aromatic dicarboxylic acid or anhydride having a number average molecular weight of less than about 500.
  • the third dispersant is a reaction product of A') a hydrocarbyl-dicarboxylic acid or anhydride, and B') at least one polyamine wherein the reaction product is post-treated with a non-aromatic dicarboxylic acid or anhydride having a number average molecular weight of less than about 500.
  • the lubricant or additive composition may further comprise one or more of detergents, dispersants, friction modifiers, antioxidants, rust inhibitors, viscosity index improvers, emulsifiers, demulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors, antiwear agents, metal dihydrocarbyl dithiophosphates, ash-free amine phosphate salts, antifoam agents, and pour point depressants and any combination thereof.
  • the lubricant composition may comprise at least 1.5 wt.% soot up to about 8 wt.% soot. More preferably the lubricant composition may comprise from about 2 wt.% to about 3 wt.% soot.
  • the lubricant composition may have a Noack volatility of less than 15 mass%, or, more preferably, the lubricant composition may have a Noack volatility of less than 13 mass%.
  • the invention relates to a method for lubricating an engine by lubricating an engine with a lubricant composition of any of the forgoing embodiments.
  • the invention relates to a method for maintaining the soot or sludge handling capability of an engine lubricant composition comprising the step of adding to the engine lubricant composition an additive composition as described in any of the foregoing embodiments.
  • the invention relates to the use of a lubricating composition according to any of the forgoing embodiments to lubricate an engine.
  • the invention relates to the use of an additive composition as described in any of the foregoing embodiments to maintain the soot or sludge handling capability of a lubricant composition.

  • additive package As used herein, the terms “additive package,” “additive concentrate,” “additive composition,” “engine oil additive package,” “engine oil additive concentrate,” “crankcase additive package,” “crankcase additive concentrate,” “motor oil additive package,” “motor oil concentrate,” are considered synonymous, fully interchangeable terminology referring the portion of the lubricating oil composition excluding the major amount of base oil stock mixture.
  • the additive package may or may not include the viscosity index improver or pour point depressant.
  • overbased relates to metal salts, such as metal salts of sulfonates, carboxylates, salicylates, and/or phenates, wherein the amount of metal present exceeds the stoichiometric amount.
  • metal salts may have a conversion level in excess of 100% (i.e., they may comprise more than 100% of the theoretical amount of metal needed to convert the acid to its "normal,” “neutral” salt).
  • metal ratio often abbreviated as MR, is used to designate the ratio of total chemical equivalents of metal in the overbased salt to chemical equivalents of the metal in a neutral salt according to known chemical reactivity and stoichiometry.
  • the metal ratio is one and in an overbased salt, MR, is greater than one.
  • overbased salts are commonly referred to as overbased, hyperbased, or superbased salts and may be salts of organic sulfur acids, carboxylic acids, salicylates, and/or phenols.
  • hydrocarbyl substituent or “hydrocarbyl group” is used in its ordinary sense, which is well-known to those skilled in the art. Specifically, it refers to a group having a carbon atom directly attached to the remainder of the molecule and having predominantly hydrocarbon character.
  • hydrocarbyl groups include:
  • percent by weight means the percentage the recited component represents to the weight of the entire composition.
  • soluble oil-soluble
  • dispenser dispensers
  • soluble dissolvable, miscible, or capable of being suspended in the oil in all proportions.

It should be noted that within each of these fluids such as, for example, automatic transmission fluids, there are a variety of different types of fluids due to the various transmissions having different designs which have led to the need for fluids of markedly different functional characteristics.

  • These lubricating applications may include lubrication of gearboxes, power take-off and clutch(es), rear axles, reduction gears, wet brakes, and hydraulic accessories.
  • the functional fluid is an automatic transmission fluid
  • the automatic transmission fluids must have enough friction for the clutch plates to transfer power.

  • Tractor fluids may combine the performance of engine oils with transmissions, differentials, final-drive planetary gears, wet-brakes, and hydraulic performance.

Detergents and dispersants used for gasoline or diesel engine performance may be detrimental to wet brake performance. Friction modifiers specific to quiet wet brake noise, may lack the thermal stability required for engine oil performance.

  • a sooted oil having 4.3 wt. % soot was generated from a fired diesel engine using a fluid that contained no dispersants. The oil was then tested by a shear rate sweep in a rheometer with a cone on plate to determine Newtonian/non-Newtonian behavior.
  • An untreated sooted oil (Curve A containing no dispersant) provided a nonlinear curve for viscosity as a function of shear rate, which indicates that it is a non-Newtonian fluid and that soot is agglomerating in the oil. The higher viscosity that was observed at lower shear indicates soot agglomeration.
  • the slope for the untreated sooted oil was approximately 0.00038.
  • the lubricant compositions used in the following Examples were prepared using samples of the same sooted oil as prepared above. A single dispersant or an additive composition was added in varying concentrations to the sooted oil. Additional components present in each of the formulations included: antioxidant(s); detergent(s); ashless TBN booster(s); corrosion inhibitor(s); metal dihydrocarbyldithiophosphate(s); ash-free phosphorus compound(s); antifoaming agent(s); antiwear agent(s); pour point depressant(s); and friction modifier(s). The amount of sooted oil was varied to provide the balance of the composition to account for the variations in the amount of the dispersants, or additive compositions used in each lubricant composition. The amounts of all of the other additives in the lubricant composition were held constant.
  • Each lubricant composition was subjected to a shear rate sweep in a rheometer with a cone on plate to determine Newtonian/non-Newtonian behavior and, to measure the effective concentrations of the dispersants or additive compositions at which Newtonian behavior was observed. All tests were performed at the same constant temperature of 100°C. Several concentrations of dispersant were tested for each lubricant composition. The slope of each curve was calculated. The effective concentration of the dispersant was deemed to be the concentration of the dispersant in the lubricant, at which the lubricant composition exhibited Newtonian behavior. The effective concentration was thus the concentration of dispersant that provided a lubricant composition that exhibited no change in viscosity with shear rate over time. This was determined by finding the concentration of dispersant at which the slope of the curve for the viscosity versus shear rate was zero.
